Diesel Engine Oils
Product Description
Mobilgard ADL Series by ExxonMobil is a high performance
family of increased dispersancy engine oils for high BMEP
medium and high-speed diesel engines operating on
distillate and MDO fuels. These advanced diesel lubricants
are available in both SAE 30 and 40 grades to suit most
marine engine viscosity requirements. As a result of a
special balance of detergent and dispersant properties
these oils provide not only increased resistance to lacquer
formation in severe service applications, but also assist in
sludge and deposit removal. Use of Mobilgard ADL Series
oils avoids high oil consumption associated with cylinder
liner lacquering, improves overall engine cleanliness and
significantly reduces engine overhauls. Superior load
carrying properties minimise piston ring and liner wear,
and also make Mobilgard ADL Series lubricants suitable
for marine gearing applications.
Features
Increased thermal and oxidation stability
Superior wear protection
Enhanced detergency/dispersancy capability
Stay-in-grade shear stability
High TBN levels
Excellent load carrying capability
Broad range of engine applications
Features & Benefits
Mobilgard ADL Series oils have demonstrated superior
performance in the latest model diesel engines, including
engines of MAN B&W Alpha, Caterpillar (3600 Series),
Deutz, and Wärtsilä. In extensive field testing on these
engines, Mobilgard ADL Series oils corrected many
problems normally associated with severe service
engines operating on lower quality fuels. Results included
dramatically reduced oil consumption, significantly
reduced liner lacquering and extended periods between
overhauls. These advanced diesel lubricants possess
excellent water separation, rust and corrosion resistance
properties.
Key features and potential benefits include:
Advantages and Potential Benefits
Improved engine cleanliness, reduced liner lacquering,
reduced top deck sludge, reduced piston ring groove
deposits and bore polishing
Extends the life of critical wear surfaces
Reduced deposits especially in the ring belt area which
leads to extended cylinder overhauls and reduced oil
consumption
Reduced oil consumption and improved bearing protection
Prevents corrosive wear due to higher sulfur fuels
Extends life of bearing surfaces
One severe service engine lubricant for all shipboard
applications
